Haven't really explored the other options. For work reasons I may have an action do auto text reply to incoming phone calls when Bluetooth is enabled. I haven't needed the power savings so far with the Razr Maxx....the battery is already plenty.

Disabling cellular data when not actively using the phone probably doubles my battery life. The trade-off is that it takes the phone about 15-20 seconds to enable the cellular radio and connect to 4G. This mostly useful for when I'm at the office and the phone is just sitting on my desk. Sometimes I disable the smart action if I'm in a situation where I want to have immediate access to data stuff.

I use Llama for other automation stuff. I have it set to lower the ringer volume and notification volume when at work, and increase these volumes when not at work. I also have it set to connect to wifi at home (and a couple of other places where wifi is available).

Vehicle Mode: I am wondering if there is a way, via Smart Actions, to turn on Vehicle Mode using the double-tap feature of the Home button? I know that there is a smart action available for when the phone recognizes a blue tooth device, but I am not interested in using a blue tooth earpiece at this point. Otherwise, at this point, I am not using any smart actions.
